ipxe does not boot on a Realtek PCIe GBE
Hello,
I use iPXE hosted on a linux server with tftp and it works fine on many pc to use a iSCSI server to boot Windows 7 or 8.1 from SAN. But on a old ASUS P7P55D with a Realtek PCIe GBE, iPXE stops at "initialisation...". It stops and nothing append even after 10 minutes. What can I do to fix this? Regards, Stéphane |

RE: ipxe does not boot on a Realtek PCIe GBE
From motherboard documentation, this LAN adapter is:
Realtek 8112L Gigabit LAN controller featuring AI NET2 Then does not seams supported in this list http://ipxe.org/appnote/hardware_drivers  even if it's from 2009.Regards, Stéphane |

Solved by using ipxe.pxe, but windows does not like the driver and does not install on SAN.

I'm guessing the PCI ID of this device is 10ec:8168 ? (which have a native driver in ipxe) where you using undionly.kpxe when it didn't work?
Use GitHub Discussions VRAM bin |

RE: ipxe does not boot on a Realtek PCIe GBE
Id of the device is PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_3B50&SUBSYS_83831043&REV_05\3&11583659&0&E7
undionly.kpxe hangs at "initialization of the device..." message or kind of message, ipxe.pxe works. After I patched all 3 .wim (PE, boot and install), Windows 10 did begin to install on SAN but after reboot it does an "inaccessible boot device" error I could not solve so I gave up with this spywareOS and did same with Windows 7 which did install properly on SAN. By the way, any of Win7, 8 or 10 all require .wim patching to add latest version of LAN drivers to be able to install them on a SAN device on various PC I did try with different NIC or they all end up with a "signature of xxx.sys does not match..." error or "inaccessible boot device" after the first reboot but this is nothing related with iPXE. |

Oh!! my mistake.
The Nic is PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8168&SUBSYS_83A31043&REV_03\4&61613AC&0&00E7 as you posted. I did not copy the proper device, my bad. |

You can try building the iPXE binary with debug for undi code enabled:
Code: make bin/undionly.kpxe DEBUG=undi EMBED=... |
